With the apps I think they’ve had both positive and negative effects on gay life.. easier to meet people from afar (I use the apps more when travelling for instance to meet locals), but has taken away from a feeling of a community. Mostly this post was influenced by the article is read and had got me thinking about the whole situation and how it affects me.

Makes it far easier for people who don’t live near a large gay community to connect. Loneliness is not just a gay thing. A much higher proportion of the population is single late in life. Loneliness is afflicting many people — not just gay.

Living in fear all the time constantly. Fear of losing everything like your friends, family, and job. Or fear of being isolated, shamed n’ named names, and most scary jail.
I am trying to say is loniness is not the worst thing. It’s frightening I agree. I try to look at others’ situations and then I realise mine is small or nothing sometimes. Positivity is the best I can do for my self. xxxx Y

Sat, 03 Nov 2018 16:23:01 +0000http://martinpwilson.wordpress.com/?p=7247#comment-2759Yes true – fair point. But both offer a way out and reassurance. Loneliness can be good sometimes as it allows us to focus on ourselves as an individual. And some prefer to be alone. Whatever works for you is always best and whether that is “lonely” is something you come can work out. Maybe loneliness is not the right phrase, maybe it’s more about “your time”.

Whatever it is, I know what you mean and wish you well.

Sat, 03 Nov 2018 16:17:12 +0000http://martinpwilson.wordpress.com/?p=7247#comment-2758Beautiful words from a beautiful soul.. I also think of the lyrics to her song ‘I Get so Lonely’:

Sittin here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I’m wonderin if I have to do
Withoutcha
But there’s no reason why
I feel asleep late last night
Cryin like a newborn child
Holdin myself close
Pretendin my arms are yours
I want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can’t let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you

And a friend you need
Like a river flows
You hurt; I’ll bleed
If you trust in me
We can find away
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
’cause happiness is oh so hard to find – Janet Jackson
